A combination that works for me - Miracle V3 ROM with the PureMotive battery mod and beta3.1 Ace Kernel. Thus far, almost 24 hours, no force closes, battery life much improved, stable at 844 oc, smartassV2 gov. Phone is not getting as heated as previously while playing any 3D game, it just feels faster and smoother...response time awaking from deep sleep is smooth, so many things seem to be functioning better.
Those who believe the improvement in battery life to be a placebo effect, I do not believe that to be the case. I could very rarely go past 6-7 hours without dropping to 10% power left. With this combination, I have gone more than 16 hours and still 40% power left to go.
I have tried so many roms and mods and they all worked really well, but most really did not improve battery life by more than a couple of hours. The battery mod really worked with the Miracle ROM (any CM7 I guess) and the beta-3 ace kernel also seems to be adding on to making the ace smooth, lag free even when underclocked to 424 max and 122 min, Smartass V2 and nook as default...in call profile 787 max 244 min.
Love and respect to all the Devs and all who mod and improve the creations...thank you so much and keep up the great work.
Peace, Love, Respect to All

Thanks...at least one more person has had a slower-draining battery. I was actually beginning to wonder if only I was seeing the positive changes or was I seeing a placebo effect. Thanks, again
trying...
Thank you for sharing,
Downloading and trying, give me a couple of days to test and post my sesations as soon as possible.
Great... Hope it does wonders for your ace as well...it sure has lessened the number of charges for me...

Continuing to note the extension in battery life. Go Power Master is further adding to battery life in super-saver mode. In the nine months that I have had the ace, the max battery life I ever got was 12 hours on one occasion, that too only because I was not able to use wi-fi because the wi-fi modem had issues and could not be used. Today's snapshots are decisive. With Go Power Master, one full charge has lasted 20 hours and there is still 30% of the battery to be used.
Which one did you use?
One with semi colon or without?

On The lg optimus one, which rom offers the best battery life?
I am currently using the AGA rom and my battery life isnt the best.
Just so i dont exceed my monthly bandwidth i am wondering in your experiences which rom has the best battery life? i am using 3g data but i configured juice defender to turn it off whenever my screen is off.
I'm currently using CM7.2 .35, with franco.kernel 2.6.35.14 and I'm getting exceptional battery life (85% by the end of the day with normal use, 14 hour day).

Hey, You should use CM7.2 A6 with goldenleaf 6DEC LG for the best battery life ... I usually get 28-32 hrs battery backup with light-moderate usage,, which includes-
-1 hr 2G data
-2hr texting
-1/2hr fruit ninja
-2.5hr Wifi
EDIT:you need to flash old baseband from your PC before you can use other custom ROMs
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPED YOU
Go for Openoptimus build 2.202.1+paolo v6 kernel. ..
definitely the best combo. ..
offers more than 2 days of battery with moderate use to me. ..
stunning gb rom. ..
follow the proper instructions of flashing as mentioned by bytecode. ..
and everything shud be just fine. ..
I LOVE THAT ROM. ..
I'm a heavy 3g user ..(all d time when my screen is on for downloads n browsing) ,2g when screen off for fb chat!must say no rom offers a solution! I felt new baseband roms gave slightly better battery with 3g !but Im on cyanogen based rom since I can't sacrifice customizations!
Oxygen v1.1 has good battery, also adfads A6 is really nice!get urself goldenleaf lg kernel! Also Google on how to improve battery!I prefer setting minimum frequency at 122(many say it not correct) but I get some extra juice when my phone is on standby!!

how do you have your phone switch from 3g to 2g when screen is off....? do you manually go into the settings and change it to 2g or is there an app that automatically does it?
also how would i go about switching from a .35 rom to a .32? is it just a simple flash of the rom from my recovery?
Bump...?
would anyone like to share more battery saving tips/roms?

Hi friends,
I would like to know your thoughts about what Official or Custom ROM has the best battery life, as this is, at least for me, one of the most important points when you want to update your phone.
This is a simple thread, just post:
- Complete name of the Custom or Official ROM, and its baseband ROM. (and link to it so we can thank the developer)
- Time you expend using different apps, wifi, 3G, etc... (for example 3 hours of Whatsapp, 2 hours on games, 1h voice calls...)
- Aprox. time your battery lasts.
- Optional: you can add a screenshot of your 'Battery Use' screen.
Let's see which one is the best!
As for me:
- Custom Rom: TheMyth ICS beta 2, baseband 2.3.6 KPP
- About 5 hours using Whatsapp, Wifi activated all time, 5 hours 3G, 1 hour surfing the internet, no gaming, a few short calls.
- It lasts around 11-13 hours.
Official 2.3.6, Baseband s5830xwkt3, so called Nordic Version.
About 17-19 hours in total.
6 hours display on, browsing web with Opera Mini and using Nimbuzz messenger. GPRS/EDGE. Yesterday even 7 hours display on, which is very good in my opinion. Display runs on lowest brightness.
ICS final. Lagfree v1 and the new scrolling battery fix and I've used 4% battery in 3 hours of constant use. Screens on lowest setting as well. Pretty amazed with the difference actually.

How the hell do you manage that? I'm running the same rom with the same script. Is the scrolling and the battery fix in the script or you edited the build.prop? What have you been doing with the constant use? Do you use 3G or edge or what?
Lol I'm really amazed.
um, I reckon the battery you get when you buy your phone is real ****, so I'm gonna buy a brand new battery and hopefully it lasts longer

which has better batt life? cm7 or miui?
I used CGM 7.1 on my SGS i9000 and battery lasted 10-12 hours, no better no worse than the previous stock Eclaire ROM. But I gained 300 MHz in cpu speed. I use the SGS extensively during the day, mostly connected to HSPA network. Can't help you on MIUI since I didn't try that one though.

hey gustaftoni.. its ridiculous.. many people recommend cm7 over sense. they say sense is a battery hog and that cm7 fixes all battery draining issues. yet, when you install cm7, the first thing you notice is battery drain. i seriously dont understand why people make stupid claims like this.
So you own a Htc. I own a Samsung, so I didn't have htcsense. Maybe the Samsung rom was already optimized for a good battery life. Anyway I get the same battery life but with processor speed of 1300 MHz instead of 1000. I assume batt life would be longer at stock speed. Try an app like juicedefender or similar for longer battery life, that will sort much more effect than changing rom. Cheers
or set lower clock speeds when screen offs

...if you can (without stalling your device). The min for my SGS is 100 MHz and I'm already there. Besides some Roms do not support low speeds as well as other ones do. Just like overclocking, underclocking requires luck.
I have used both, and I can't say for sure, but I think CM7 is faster.

What do you guys think is better smartassv2 or ondemand? I usually use smartassv2 but im not sure with the rezound.
I'm using ondemand and its been perfect for me. no rebooted and great battery life.
I flashed incredikernel 6 the day it was released weeks ago.
I use on-demand, I have not had a single reboot/bootloop etc yet & the battery life is super.
I use on demand with the stock Kernel (using cleanrom 3.5). I drop the cpu down to about 1.ghz and set a profile for on demand between 192 and 760 something when the screen is off. I only dropped about 3 percent a few nights ago while sleeping (6.5 hours roughly). (the phone doesn't go into sleep mode and I dont have a battery saver). I don't get that with my heavy usage, but that is a big plus.
Where do you guys get the download for ondemand? Back in the day when I had the OG Droid, everyone used SetCPU. Doesn't seem to be the app of choice any more to set frequencies. I can't find ondemand (or smartass for that matter) in the market. ANy suggestions?
I had been using ondemand up until a few days ago. The last couple days I have been using interactive, and it seems like both battery life and performance are somewhat better, although I have no hard numbers to support this, and I have really random usage.

They're features on the kernel. When you install the kernel you'll be able to check which one you wanna use from the app. (SetCPU may be good, but it seems the apps of choice on the Rezound are AnTuTu or Systems Tuner Pro, I use AnTuTU.)
Or if you use incredikernel the app incredicontrol goes along with it perfectly and is 100% totally stable for me. I have tried every kernel there is both GB and ICS on my phone and incredikernel and the stock kernel are the only ones that will run stability test scaling stability test all night long without bootlooping.

Thank you so much for the reply. I am just sticking with the stock Kernal for now, but I was interested in undervolting the kernal while it's in sleep mode and while charging to see if I can save battery life. I just tried SetCPU, but was not pleased with the constant SU pop ups. It was keeping my screen awake. I think I'll five AnTuTu a shot.
If I ever load a custom kernal, I'll know what to keep an eye out for.
I have completely given up on undervolting at this point, I never once saw a noticeable increase in battery life but I definitely ended up with a less stable phone.........

What we need are more custom kernels.
I have undervolted (Incredikernel with Incredicontrol) and it's quite stable and the battery life is pretty good. I can get 12 - 16 hours with the stock battery with medium usage (texting, browsing).
Interstingly, it was 10 - 12 with OnDemand. Interactive seems to be better.

Have you ever tried leaving all the settings exactly the same and NOT undervolting??
I would be willing to bet the battery life would be almost identical.
CPU Tuner is awesome also. Might be the best.

Actually, yes. It did make a difference. Not as significant as on the Incredible, although that may be a difference in HAVS vs SVS.

Sorry but no zip rom dev will ever improve battery life without coding their own battery saving applications.
I am sure the rom is great, but don't credit battery life to it
Short of going to AOSP, you cannot significantly change battery life on any ROM compared to what it is based off of. So, if you make a ROM based on Stock TouchWiz, it is going to get approximately the same usage as the Stock ROM. If you have doubts, go do a comparison test. Even undervolting isn't going to do anything significant for you with modern day processors.

It has always been my belief that you use roms for features, not performance or battery claims.
I use Jelly Beans ROM 8 and the performance and battery life is 100 times difference. The battery with heavy usage was at 56% from 7am until 5pm. My Galaxy Note 2's performance without overclocking has been extremely fast in comparison to stock, I can now watch videos with any browser without the hour glass circle hanging for an extended period of time.

AOSP based ROM's can get you better performance and improve battery life (though I very rarely if have ever actually see the later).. At this time there are still issues with AOSP here and there.. most notably the gpu has either glitches or a memory leak (one or the other) and bluetooth is sketchy.
Zip ROM's or Stock ROMS will not change either performance or battery life by any real significance.

I disagree. Lol. I'm not a dev and don't know how to code (sure I'll get flamed) but here's how I see it:
"Debloating" does save my battery a bit. Some crap programs running in the background (at all times) that I never use, showing up in my battery stats and my running apps using xyz of my ram, apps that I *never* use (I mean NEVER opened) -- you don't think killing those (in effect - killing process) has any positive effect on ones battery life?
I think it does. I've tested it. One example: anything exchange related on this phone and the Note 2. Also: smart alarm clock. That damn widget never sleeps and I've never used it. My phone sleeps better without it and I do believe overall (with the other rogue apps I kill) my battery is better.
I'm ready to be proven wrong.

I don't notice as much now, but with older devices bloat had a huge impact on performance and battery life. On some of my phones blockbuster was one of the biggest battery hogs and I've never once opened that app. On my Droid X with 512mb ram it would start to lag at 90mb free, it was really bad once it got down to 70mb free, and would freeze at 50mb free. Before I first rooted I had to use a app killer before I used my phone so it wouldn't lag, and if I used it more than 20 minutes or so I had to run it again to stop the lag. Once I rooted I started using an app to set the memory to always keep 90 mb or more free and didn't have lag anymore, but the apps I was using would constantly redraw but bloat apps I never used would be eating up all my ram, I debloated it and have been fine ever since.

I disagree. Lol. I'm not a dev and don't know how to code (sure I'll get flamed) but here's how I see it:
"Debloating" does save my battery a bit. Some crap programs running in the background (at all times) that I never use, showing up in my battery stats and my running apps using xyz of my ram, apps that I *never* use (I mean NEVER opened) -- you don't think killing those (in effect - killing process) has any positive effect on ones battery life?
I think it does. I've tested it. One example: anything exchange related on this phone and the Note 2. Also: smart alarm clock. That damn widget never sleeps and I've never used it. My phone sleeps better without it and I do believe overall (with the other rogue apps I kill) my battery is better.
I'm ready to be proven wrong.

Those *things* you never used are backgrounded and harmless, despite perceptions.
I have never seen a battery use screen shot chock full of apps never used draining the battery. ...
Except Maps. That one is annoying.
I am fully stock still and almost 2d usage with 34 percent left.
This is with Scott's clean Rom 1.0. Maybe stock gives you the same battery performance. But this Rom is as smooth as butter.
